\n\n\n\n- Cutting an onion can be simple if you first split it in two, trim off the tip and the root, make some horizontal cuts, and follow with some lengthway cuts. The amount of cuts depends on the desired size of the cubes. And finally, cut the onion crosswise.\n\n\n\n
- Use beets baked in foil for salads: unlike boiled beets, baked beets contain more vitamins and retain more taste and color.\n\n\n\n
- Always dress your salad only after adding salt. Otherwise, oil won’t let the salt dissolve completely.\n\n\n\n
- One trick that won’t let your pasta stick together is to use as much water as possible. Take at least 34 fl oz (1 liter) of water for 4 oz (100 gr) of “dry” pasta and you’ll get perfect results.\n\n\n\n
